Okolona KY Homes for Sale

Okolona is a city located in Southern Jefferson County originally settled by Pennsylvania and Virginia farmers in the late 18th century. In the late 19th century the area had been called Lone Oak. Due to a town near Paducah, Kentucky already having the name Lone Oak for its post office, the residents rearranged Lone Oak into Okolona.Read More...
